About: Bath & Body Works is a specialty home fragrance and fragrant body care retailer operating under the Bath & Body Works, C.O. Bigelow, and White Barn brands. The company generates most of its business in North America, with just 5% of sales from international markets in fiscal 2024. For fiscal 2024, 76% of sales stemmed from the brick-and-mortar network (which was composed of more than 1,800 retail stores), similar to 2023 levels, as consumer shopping patterns remained to normal. Future growth is expected from store upgrades, digital and international channels, as well as adjacent category expansions like hair and laundry.

Bath & Body Works: Structural Weakness And Visible Margin Pressure (Rating Downgrade)
I downgrade BBWI stock to sell as 2Q25 results confirm underlying demand weakness, inventory buildup, and margin pressures, despite headline beats. Bath & Body Works faces structural challenges: failure to attract younger consumers, brand relevance issues, and an overwhelming in-store experience for new shoppers. Inventory growth far outpaces sales, raising the risk of heavy discounting and further margin erosion in the coming quarters.
